| Moviemakers have long-chosen the streets of Boston as the setting of more than 400 TV shows, motion pictures, and high-budget car-dealership commercials featuring explosions and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Grab today's Groupon for 90 minutes and 1.25 miles of reveling in TV-silverscreen-fantasyland: Boston Movie Tours takes you around Beacon Hill to famous filming locations from famous films starring famous and semi-famous actors. Walk around the Boston Movie Mile in Beacon Hill (the most filmed part of the city) while listening to an expert guide spout off about gossip, behind-the-scenes secrets, and fascinating trivia from TV shows and movies, including: - Good Will Hunting: Visit the park bench where Matt Damon and Robin Williams once sat and acted.
- Ally McBeal: Check out the building used for exterior shots of Cage, Fish & Associates, the law office where Calista Flockhart once practiced.
- The Departed: Stand where Matt Damon played rugby in the Oscar-winning movie starring Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, and Reggie Bush fan Anthony Anderson.
- Blown Away: Discover the street of the runaway car crash starring Jeff Bridges and Tommy Lee Jones.
- Cheers: Visit the inspiration for America's favorite bar-sitcom starring Ted Danson (Cheers's bar was based off Bull & Finch pub on Beacon Street). Choose either 15% off at the Cheers gift shop or any food item in the restaurant (doesn't include alcohol). If you're feeling hungry, take a stab at the Norm Burger (muenster cheese, mushrooms, onion rings, tomatoes, lettuce, and onions), which has been scientifically proven to be too much for anyone other than George Wendt.

- It was a beautiful break from seeing all the historic sights of Boston and instead being immersed in the Pop culture of Boston...
